Meet Microsoft Teams - the digital hub for teachers and students in Office 365 for Education

Teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, and apps together in one place. Educators can create collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, and communicate with school staff – all from a single experience in Office 365 for Education.

On August 16, 2018, The Office of Information Technology will be hosting a workshop for any educators associated with the university. The workshop will be led by Dominic Williamson, Program Manager and Higher Education Specialist at Microsoft. The event will be held at the AMC campus.
